On that note, when you work with him, what is the magic of spark? Because I feel like everyone who worked with him is like: "There's just something about him. He just gets it."

Okay, but before I answer, I will say that the job is done for people like themselves who get it. The job is done for people like themselves who say, "No, Ryan Kogller is not the next thing. Ryan Kogller is Ryan Koggler." And I believe that the reason you can discover is because you are involved in the humanity we carry, our own humanity. And you know, in terms of your own humanity, that you are an individual. Your ethnicity aside, regardless of your ethnicity, does not matter. It is important in as much as you claim, and that is part of who you are. But in terms of what you do in the world, do not compare yourself or any of us with someone else. We are all individuals who create their own paths.

But to your question, this is such a heavy industry. Watch, life is difficult, but to deal with this creative arena, and the types of challenges and obstacles that are put in front of us because we are, not for what we do, because we are and which we perceive, the types of challenges that are set before us, which we need to move every day, I am hoping. And I am thrilled to be part of the work that changes the paradigm, and for myself as a creative worker and to be associated with this type of work.

Since I said it several times over the last few days, so I became an actor. I didn't become an actor because I wanted to tell the audience: "Oh, oh, look at me, look at me, look at me." So I didn't become an actor. I became an actor because I wanted to be involved in the work that spoke and changed in some way. And I know it sounds really sublime, and I understand. It sounds a kind of high -falutin, but that's what I wanted to do. I wanted to be involved in the work that made people think and maybe, in some cases, changed the way people think.

So, a long lasting answer, but is really satisfying and rewarding to get involved in this director at this point in his career, doing this kind of work and sharing this kind of work with an audience.
